1H95

1H95 is a Mineral insulated cables (MICC, IEC 60702-1 grades) cable designation: H = Heavy duty grade, 750 V (450/750 V): mineral insulated copper cable; the number before the letter counts the cores, the number after it is the conductor in mm2; 1H95 = 1H95: mineral insulated copper cable, heavy duty 750 V, 1 x 95 mm2, 15.4 mm over the copper sheath (17.7 mm with the LSZH covering). 450/750 V; copper sheath 70 C covered or exposed to touch, 105 C bare and out of reach. IEC 60702-1 / BS EN 60702-1 (as the makers cite it; not held here).

Mineral insulated cables (MICC, IEC 60702-1 grades): how to read the cable type names

1H95 as the cable designer builds it, 1x95 450/750 V

Overall diameter 15.4 mm, about 1,320 kg/km. Nominal values from the standard's tables for this size, computed, not a maker's data.

1H95 on a drum

The smallest drum that passes every check, for 15.4 mm and about 1,320 kg/km as the cable designer builds it. Drums as their makers print them; lengths are estimates: whole layers wound nested (each turn in the groove of the layer below), wound diameter 1.05 × OD, 50 mm freeboard under the flange rim. Cable makers' own tables print less, as they count aligned layers.

LengthDrum size (its makers)LayersGross weight
500 mKTG 9 (900 mm flange), wood KTG drums (Europe), Bayka, KTG9 of 12707–711 kg
1,000 mKTG 12 (1250 mm flange), wood KTG drums (Europe), Bayka, KTG11 of 181,464–1,485 kg

Barrel at least 20 × OD = 308 mm for a cable of this kind (Low voltage, single core): KTG table, the cable's datasheet wins. A load rating is the drum maker's own.
